What Pennsylvania law requires — and how CommonGround enforces it
Planned communities (HOAs)
Who decides the fine
Decision body — the board
The board levies reasonable fines after notice and an opportunity to be heard. 68 Pa.C.S. § 5302(a)(11)(i)
In CommonGround: CommonGround routes the fine decision to the board and requires the recorded decision before any fine is assessed.
Notice, opportunity to be heard, and a recorded decision
After notice and opportunity to be heard, the association may levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations. No statutory dollar cap, notice contents, or cure period. 68 Pa.C.S. § 5302(a)(11)(i)
In CommonGround: The workflow has no path around it: the notice must be sent, the opportunity to be heard must be offered, and the decision must be recorded — in that order — before a fine can exist.
